I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY!

"All of you coachella 'regulars' have nasty boy pussies and itchy dick4's on your asses.
Why don't you all make like a tree and get chopped down and die. You all have been dreadfully mean to me.
I Hate you. All of you. None of you will ever get to see a womans chest meat or finger blast hott cougies like me.
Fuck you all. Consider this my resignation.
Fair the well, you elitest scumbags."— Faxman75, who has clearly had enough

Re: ATP / IBYM 2012 - Asbury Park, NJ

If I'm guessing now I'd say my ATP US streak will end at four. Asbury was disappointing for me compared to Kutshers and I'm ambivalent about Afghan Whigs. Then again, I thought I'd skip the Lips year since I'm not a fan and the bill would up being great, so time will tell ...

There are two days curated by ATP, those tend to be my favorites anyways, so I'm not worried at all. I think the fervor over the Afghan Whigs is going to be much less than, say, Portishead so ATP will need a strong lineup for good sales

Re: ATP / IBYM 2012 - Asbury Park, NJ

The Afghan Whigs are a soul-influenced American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio. The band were one of the most critically acclaimed rock groups of the 90's and were known for their epic live performances.

Agreed. But coming off Asbury 2011, I've been thinking that to get me back there again, I'd need a curator that really appealed to me at the top of the bill. That didn't happen. But yeah, the rest of the bill could be super amazing to the point where it won't matter.

I guess we'll just have to wait until January to see. There will be Friday and Sunday headliners that could easily go over the AWs for me, especially if IBYMUK2012 is any indicator of a general 'mood' in ATP's curating

Re: ATP / IBYM 2012 - Asbury Park, NJ

Afghan Whigs are someone you would know IF you knew what you were missing.

Listen to Black Love forthwith.

Re: ATP / IBYM 2012 - Asbury Park, NJ

I'm in, even though the Afghan Whigs were one of the worst bands I've ever seen. I'm guessing it was 89? Or so in Pittsburgh and everyone stood outside in the cold waiting for them to finish so we could see the headliner, Bullet LaVolta, maybe? Who knew? Anyway, psyched for the Festival again. whigs got better, obviously.
